Keyboard Having a Stabilizer Mechanism, Key Stabilizer Mechanism, and Method

2. The keyboard of claim 1, wherein the pivot of at least one of the second hinge and the fourth hinge has a flexure bearing extending from the stem with which it cooperates.

3. The keyboard of claim 1, wherein the pivot of at least one of the second hinge and the fourth hinge has a pin joint with a pin disposed with the stem with which it cooperates.

4. The keyboard of claim 1, wherein at least one of the pivots of at least one of the first hinge and the third hinge has a flexure bearing.

5. The keyboard of claim 1, wherein at least one of the pivots of the first hinge and the third hinge has a pin joint.

6. The keyboard of claim 1, wherein all the pivots are pin joints.

7. The keyboard of claim 1, wherein all the pivots are flexure bearings.

8. The keyboard of claim 1 having at least one contact surface disposed with a flexible arm, the contact surface is configured and disposed to bias a rotatable length of the wire between the first arm and the second arm against other contact surfaces and to maintain contact with the rotatable length throughout a depression of the keycap.

9. The keyboard of claim 1, wherein the first and the second bases are disposed with the PCB, the bases have extensions configured and disposed to extend through the PCB and cooperate with a clip.

11. The keycap stabilizer mechanism of claim 10, wherein the pivot of at least one of the second hinge and the fourth hinge has a flexure bearing extending from the stem with which it cooperates.

12. The keycap stabilizer mechanism of claim 11, wherein the pivot of at least one of the second hinge and the fourth hinge has a pin joint with a pin disposed with the stem with which it cooperates.

13. The keycap stabilizer mechanism of claim 10, wherein at least one of the pivots of at least one of the first hinge and the third hinge has a flexure bearing.

14. The keycap stabilizer mechanism of claim 10, wherein at least one of the pivots of the first hinge and the third hinge has a pin joint.

15. The keycap stabilizer mechanism of claim 10, wherein all the pivots are pin joints.

16. The keycap stabilizer mechanism of claim 10, wherein all the pivots are flexure bearings.

17. The keycap stabilizer mechanism of claim 10 having at least one contact surface disposed with a flexible arm, the contact surface is configured and disposed to bias the rotatable length of the wire against other contact surfaces and to maintain contact with the rotatable length throughout a depression of the keycap.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the rotatingly holding a portion of the wire comprises biasing the wire against contact surfaces with a flexible arm.

20. The method of claim 18, wherein the pivoting of the second hinge about the first stem comprises flexing a flexure joint.

21. The method of claim 18, wherein the collapsing the first hinge between the first stem and the first base comprises flexing a flexure joint extending from the first stem.

22. The method of claim 18, wherein at least one of the pivoting of the second hinge about the first stem and the collapsing the first hinge between the first stem and the first base comprises rotating a leaf about a pin.
